Hi Thomas, In the US, the dealer for Aeroprakt is Spectrum Aviation (John Hunter, formerly of AirCam). As it turns out, I sent them a message to ask about the availability of the A-36 Vulcan, which is a twin that's made for 912S engines. In my message, I mentioned that I would be interested in using two single rotor Mazda engines. Their reply, was a wee bit less than encouraging, and I replied with my personal feelings on his arrogance and closed mindedness. Here are two excerpts from his message: Hello Rusty. The A-36, now going into production, is out of the development stage (including engine choice, mounts, installation & cowling). It is not an amateur design (like the 'Cam), and consideration of scabbing automotive engines on it seems highly illogical to me. I understand that some people are dreamers & that some like to tinker, but the A-36 is for those who like to fly, and Aeroprakt has taken good care of the engineering. We'd prefer that you find some other design to mess with... In the A-36's last 3 years of development, the only "suggestions" for alternate engines have been: the R-914 (overkill), Jabaru (groan), and now Mazda. It's a human failing that the grass is always greener & there's always a better mousetrap...
